Inter owner Erick Thohir is keen to bring fresh talent to the club and wants to follow up the signing of United captain and defender Nemanja Vidic with a number of new additions.

And according to reports in Italy, discussions between Thohir and United officials are underway over the transfer of Hernandez.

The Mexican forward has endured a difficult campaign under new United boss David Moyes, making only four Premier League starts and playing much of the season in the shadow of Wayne Rooney, Robin van Perise and Danny Welbeck.

“Hernandez is contracted at United until 2016 and Moyes is likely to command a large fee to let the striker leave the club this summer”

Miguel Herrera, Hernandez's agent, admitted last month of the player's frustration at the lack of first-team football and Thohir is confident he can lure the 25-year-old to Italy with the promise of regular action.

Hernandez joined United in 2010 and enjoyed a sensational debut campaign at Old Trafford, netting 20 times in all competitions as the Red Devils secured the Premier League title.

The striker also played his part in Sir Alex Ferguson's final season at the helm, scoring 18 times last year as United wrestled the league title back from closest rivals Manchester City.

Hernandez is contracted at United until 2016 and Moyes is likely to command a large fee to let the striker leave the club this summer.

Along with Hernandez, the Serie A outfit are also monitoring the situation of Arsenal forward Lukas Podolski.

Injury has restricted Podolski to only eight league appearances for the Gunners this season and Thohir has added the German ace to his summer wish list.
